Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A terminal power control method, comprising: A. obtaining, by a terminal, a quality parameter of a received signal, receiving power of a code channel occupied by the terminal and powers of code channels in a cell having the same carrier frequency and the same time slot as those of the code channel occupied by the terminal respectively, according to a received signal quality; B. determining a minimum receiving power which is permitted by the code channel occupied by the terminal according to the power of the code channels in the cell having the same carrier frequency and the same time slot as those of the code channel occupied by the terminal wherein the determining includes preconfiguring or predesignating, via a signaling, a power difference threshold between different code channels; obtaining a maximum code channel power in the cell having the same carrier frequency and the same time slot as those of the code channel occupied by the terminal; and taking a difference between the maximum code channel power and the power difference threshold between different code channels as the minimum receiving power which is permitted by the code channel occupied by the terminal; and C. generating a power control command according to a determined minimum receiving power, the receiving power of the code channel occupied by the terminal and the quality parameter of the received signal.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein: when the receiving power of the code channel occupied by the terminal is lower than or equal to the minimum receiving power which is permitted, generating a command for increasing a transmit power; and when the receiving power of the code channel occupied by the terminal is greater than the minimum receiving power which is permitted by the code channel occupied by the terminal, generating the power control command according to the quality parameter of the received signal and a configured quality parameter target value.

3

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein, when the receiving power of the code channel occupied by the terminal is greater than the minimum receiving power which is permitted by the code channel occupied by the terminal, if the quality parameter of the received signal is greater than the quality parameter target value, generating a command for decreasing the transmit power; and if the quality parameter of the received signal is lower than or equal to the quality parameter target value, generating a command for increasing the transmit power.

4

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, when the quality of the received signal is in a certain range, a power control module is permitted to generate a command for requesting a transmit end not to adjust the transmit power; if the receiving power of the code channel occupied by the terminal is equal to the minimum receiving power which is permitted, generating the power control command according to the quality parameter of the received signal and the configured quality parameter target value; and if the received power of the code channel occupied by the terminal is greater than the minimum receiving power which is permitted, generating the power control command according to the quality parameter of the received signal, the configured quality parameter target value and a configured quality change threshold.

5

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein, when the received power of the code channel occupied by the terminal is equal to the minimum receiving power which is permitted, if the quality parameter of the received signal is greater than the quality parameter target value, generating a command for not adjusting the transmit power; and if the quality parameter of the received signal is lower than or equal to the quality parameter target value, generating the command for increasing the transmit power.

6

6. The method according to claim 4 , wherein, when the receiving power of the code channel occupied by the terminal is greater than the minimum receiving power which is permitted by the code channel occupied by the terminal: if the quality parameter of the received signal is greater than the quality parameter target value by a first predetermined threshold, generating the command for decreasing the transmit power; if the quality parameter of the received signal is lower than the quality parameter target value by a second predetermined threshold, generating the command for increasing the transmit power; otherwise, generating a command for not adjusting the transmit power.

7

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein, the first predetermined threshold is equal to the second predetermined threshold.

8

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, the quality parameter of the received signal comprises: a signal-to-interfere ratio before a signal demodulation, a signal-to-noise ratio after the signal demodulation, and the signal receiving power.
